Radiolink has announced the release of their latest radio system for multi-surface use, the RC8X. The new transmitter retains all of the features seen in the RC4GS and RC6GS V3 while adding a host of new programming options and features.
Aesthetically the 4.3″ full-color IPS touch screen is the standout change for the RC8X. This screen is a generational leap from the screens of older Radiolink models which were single color, smaller units. Included in the programming are options for head-tracking and FPV signal input (for FPV flying or driving right from the transmitter), user-defined voice broadcasting, multiple mix control parameters, model memory is up to 200 models from 30 in the last generation and can be further organized into 16 subsidiary iD slots (up from 2 on the last gen) and up to 8 groups of mixing capabilities. The included R8FG dual antenna receiver is IPX4 splash proof and has gyro functionality. The RC8X is backward compatible with the last generation of receivers meaning that converting your fleet of vehicles is as simple as binding your current receivers to the new transmitter.
Ergonomically the RC8X can be tailored to suit most any had with adjustable throttle spring tension as well as left hand control settings. A type-c port is included to recharge the battery should an ungraded lithium pack be used (the radio uses 8 AAA cells out of the box), plus a thumb wheel adapter is inculded for one-handed operation. Each switch has a distinct feel for easy recognition while the trigger is grooved for better grip and reduced slipping of the finger during use. Finally the memory can be expanded using a micro-sd card for addition setting storage and backup of data.
